There was no stopping Bugsy Maguire last time out at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway and the pacer will look for more of the same with a different driver Monday (Oct. 25).
The 13-dash card starts off at 6:30 p.m. and Bugsy Maguire is saddled with Post 5 in the $3,200 preferred pace slated as Race 12. Adam Merner is back in the driver’s seat of the son of Bettors Delight for trainer Wade Sorrie and owner Walter Simmons of Summerside. His last start was a 1:54.4 open-length victory at the Prince County oval in line to Corey MacPherson, but his former driver will opt to sit behind the Ron Gass-trained Screen Test from Post 4 on Monday evening. Both Bugsy Maguire and Screen Test have made seven trips to the winner’s circle in the 2021 season. Filly Forty Seven has rail control in the featured pace after winning her last two starts to remain undefeated since rejoining the Marc Campbell stable. Also in the field are Silverhill Buddy (Jason Hughes) and Heart And Soul (Walter Cheverie).
The Backstretch Beat in Monday’s card has Bugsy Maguire pegged for another victory.
“Bugsy Maguire romped last time out and [Monday] could be more of the same.”
Monday is the second last card of the season with the racing meet ending on Nov. 1, at the western oval. Hughes leads the way for the dash title with 45 wins in 2021 in Summerside, ahead of Campbell at 44 wins and MacPherson at 43 wins for a close race for the top title.
Also on the Monday card is the eliminations for the P.E.I. Harness Racing Racing Industry Association Go The Distance series for aged pacers who have earned less than $3,000 in 2021. The series will have eliminations in Races 1, 3 and 5 with the top three from each advancing to the $4,000 final on Nov. 1, while the bottom finishers will compete in the $2,500 consolation.
